There was an unprecedent 4% swing in the polls from two weeks before the poll to the results on the day. The last full referendum on the EU wa in 1975, and the locals are used to tactical voting at every other government level, up to and including a General (i.e. Prime Ministerial) Election. My direct family all voted in. Most (but not all) of my sister's family were in/remain as well. There's a 60+ year age spread in that cohort alone, only two of whom were old enough to vote last time around. The biggest single factor on the day was probably that it pissed down with rain all day across most of the South East, including London, where a large fraction of the population lives. This skews heavily against the young and the (legal) immigrants, who may have multiple jobs, and the elderly, who struggle with public transport. My borough voted remain by nearly 70%, my Dad's voted out by similar margins. The U.K. of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would comfortably fit inside California, yet has (roughly) one fifth the population of the U.S. The politics of these little islands are far more complex than those in the U.S., and some of the laws in our (unwritten) constitution are just as arcane and stupid as those anywhere in the world. America got to start afresh in 1776 and keep only the good bits (and some bad bits). At least we don't deliberately rig things so that black people have to take a whole day off work to vote.
Fair play; you're right, lazy Googling on my part.. He wrote "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" in Glasgow, but was back in Fife by the time he wrote"The Wealth of Nations". I think I'm good on the other two, though.

I was with you on most of those right up until the last one. Admittedly they could all fall under the rubric of "right wing litmus tests", but really? I can understand committed vegetarians who object to animal butchery for human consumption, or for any other reason (though I find that hard to reconcile with the fact that our own immune systems slaughter millions of bacteria, not to mention our own cells, every day). But I really cannot think of a sane rationale proscribing ritually prepared food, other than xenophobia, in a country where eating meat is legal.
While I commend your initiative, taking horse pills tends not to happen in countries with state sponsored healthcare either. Even if the doctors do prescribe antibiotics for viral infections *cough* France *cough*.
No, I expect the state to pay for them out of general taxation. Modern strains of TB, common in South Africa and the New York prison system require a multiple month course of very nasty, old fashioned drugs. They make you feel sick as all hell, and you can't afford them anyway:
We fix that in the civilised world by not requiring people to pay for medicines essential to public health. Sadly, that does not yet include the United States.
Your 'bot has malfunctioned: there is an unbalanced parenthesis in the fourth paragraph; I'm guessing trying to squeeze Al Gore into the frankly nonsensical diatribe/parody threw off the parser. There will be another Turing test next week. In the meantime, you fail.
That's what 'p4 diff -se' is for. It basically asks the server 'have I got any local edits that you don't know about?'. (Also '-sa' and '-sd' for local adds/deletes.)

Because the Iranians are all peaceful and stuff, right?
As a matter of fact, yes. Iran hasn't invaded another country in over 270 years. (They invaded India and sacked Delhi in 1738-9). Compare that with the United States: http://academic.evergreen.edu/...

It's even worse on CentOS 5.9; the default Python there is 2.4, and you can't change the system version or you'll break Yum.

This doesn't happen in countries with universal medicine. Don't get me started on routine feedlot medication.

Unlike IBM. APL stands for "A Programming Language".

There are a number of Perforce customers with thousands of users on a single server, and at least two with more than 5000.
